Prepare Tracks for DestructivePunch
Recording
In order for a track to be enabled for Destructive-
Punch recording, the track must contain a con-
tiguous audio file that meets the following re-
quirements:
• The file must start at the beginning
(sample 0) of the session.
– and –
• The File Length must be equal to or greater
than the DestructivePunch File Length set-
ting (see “DestructivePunch File Length”
on page 418).
If a track does not contain a file that meets these
requirements, you can do any of the following
to meet the requirements:
• Move the current file in the track Timeline
so that its beginning aligns with the session
start.
• Use the Consolidate command to create a
continuous file of the required length.
• Change the DestructivePunch File Length
setting so that the current file is equal to or
greater than the required length.
• Use the Prepare DPE Tracks command to
consolidate audio on all DestructivePunch-
enabled tracks. (See “Using the Prepare DPE
Tracks Command” on page 418.)
